What is your Driving Instructor looking for
Each of our Instructors aim to teach learner drivers to not just pass the driving test but to learn new skills that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. Learning to drive on today’s roads requires much more than just having the ability to use the controls. A driver needs to be alert at all times and will need to show good control skills, good observations, confidence, and patience, the list is endless there will be times when quick decisions will have to be made. Being courteous and having the right attitude to others are also very important factors.
Our female Driving Instructors will teach you every skill. Our female Instructors CARE and will make driving lessons fun with lots of laughs along the way.
Let’s not forget the learner driver also is required to pass a theory test and hazard perception test before the practical can be done These skills taught will not be forgotten. And passing your driving test is only a bonus.
The driving instructor will have expectations of the learner driver and those will be that the learner driver who wishes to cancel a driving lesson does so in good time, the instructor will expect the learner driver to turn up for lessons on time and with the payment, and also more importantly the learner driver should attend with the intention of giving 100% concentration to the learning. The learner driver must enter into driving lessons like they would a college course and if full attention is not given then learning will be slow and possibly non existent.
Taking lessons with a driving Instructor is a partnership and one cannot achieve without the other. On lessons an Instructor
will expect you to turn up on time and be ready to learn.
It is important to mention that you should not take your lesson if you did not get enough sleep, or had a few too many the night before
not only for the reason that you could be arrested for drunk driving but the poor instructor would become intoxicated with the fumes.
Listen carefully to the Instructor and discuss any areas that you are unsure of. Instructors like pupils that
ask questions and it aids the learning process.
Don't become agitated if the instructor wishes to sit and discuss topics with you. This is normal practice in
lessons as you are not paying to be driving constantly for the full hour, there are also elements of theory that need to be addressed.
The Instructor is looking for you to take information and skills on board so that they can reduce the amount of instruction
given to you so the sooner you can shut the instructor up the better.
When you get home and within the time you have for your next lesson an instructor would expect you to do some home study. This
could be browsing the internet, practicing for your theory, or reading books.
